Event configuration
2.3.1
Stream & Events
Camera may be configured to record a constant video stream or make a record triggered by
event. A common event type is an alarm on connected external sensor to camera that causes the
camera to upload images.
The configuration menu allows choosing the quality and the resolution. The lower quality and
resolution the smaller is the frame size.
Approximate frame size values for the VGA resolution are:
Best => 50 kBytes
High => 40 kBytes
Normal => 30 kBytes
Medium => 20 kBytes
Basic => 10 kBytes
QVGA frame size is about 4 times smaller than VGA. QQVGA frame size is about 16 times
smaller than VGA. Choosing the quality and resolution value is very important as EDGE transmission
rate is limited. The camera allows sending data up to 236 kbits/s. The actual transmitted data speed
depends on GSM provider‟s network and GSM signal strength.
2.3.1.1
Constant stream
Constant stream allows configuring constant video sending to FTP, SD card or by E-mail.
Before enabling this feature do not forget to set parameters for FTP and E-mail in the E-mail & FTP
tab in camera web configuration page. In order to receive video files by FTP and E-mail do not forget
to set reasonable values for frame speed, resolution and quality as data transmission is limited by the
EDGE connection speed.
